  The Natwest technical problems today I think is the reason why we still need to keep branches open just in case of emergency such as the one in Washington Galleries, it's stupid that you closed that one as well as branches across the country @NatWest_Help

  @leiper_danielle @AskNationwide I'm with NatWest (who don't have payment issues) didn't get payment. Rang DWP and they confirmed payment issue at their end. You may end up with a double payment (it may go in again on Tuesday).

  @davidpolymath NatWest have been plugging a rewards account which needs you to login to the app monthly to get some of the rewards..rather than "charging" branch/telephony users they are "rewarding" digital users. Sounds less controversial!

  @NatWest_Help please can someone contact me as I have been unable to book a holiday with Jet2 due to “PSD2 SCA issue” the NatWest adviser suggests I have to speak to Jet 2 to resolve and I find it hard to believe that a major bank and a major holiday company cannot interoperate

  @jet2tweets are you aware of PSD2 SCA booking issues with NatWest credit cards. @NatWest_Help are saying you cannot transact with each other and my credit card gets declined. Very poor joint experience

  UK Mortgage Rates Surge as Middle East Conflict Sparks Inflation Fears UK mortgage rates have reversed weeks of decline as lenders respond to escalating conflict in the Middle East, with HSBC, Nationwide, Virgin Money, NatWest and Coventry Building Society announcing increases of up to 0.25% across fixed-rate products. The repricing marks an abrupt shift in a market that had been steadily improving since late 2025. According to Mortgage Solutions, the average two-year fixed rate residential mortgage has climbed from 4.32% to 4.82% as of 4 March, while the five-year fix rose from 4.94% to 4.96%. The catalyst: soaring oil and gas prices following US and Israeli strikes on Iran that sent energy markets into turmoil. The two-year swap rate rose from 3.33% on 27 February to 3.65% by 6 March, while the five-year swap rate climbed from 3.5% to 3.8%, according to Moneyfacts. Swap rates — the benchmarks lenders use to price fixed mortgages — move in tandem with market expectations for Bank of England policy. In late February, traders had fully priced in two Bank of England rate cuts by the end of 2026, but by 3 March, the chance of two rate cuts had been completely wiped out, according to the HomeOwners Alliance. The shift reflects a brutal recalculation of inflation risk. Since the first US strikes on Iran on Saturday, energy prices have soared, with the oil price increasing to 84$/barrel (Brent Crude) and UK gas prices to 139p/therm (up 15% and 78% respectively since the weekend), NIESR reported. Iran has disrupted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz — a narrow waterway through which a fifth of all global oil flows, according to Al Jazeera. The UK remains heavily dependent on gas for heating and electricity generation. For UK households, wholesale gas prices matter because they are a key driver of domestic energy bills, meaning a prolonged spike could push up costs in the months ahead. UK inflation stood at 3.4% in December 2025, already above the Bank of England's 2% target.

  @HillingdonPosh I worked and played for Natwest for many years. Originally had 2 sports grounds. One in Norbury and the one that is now the Palace Academy site (which some people refer to as being Sydenham as it is just around corner from Lower Sydenham train station).

  @thetimepls @deirdrecostigan It’s a shame the conversation turns toward blaming communities, rather than focusing on how service reductions by NatWest impact places like Southall.

  @RBS_Help I wish to withdraw my consent for using or storing my biometric data but cannot see where that option can be found on the NatWest Group websites. Can you help with this? @NatWest_Help
